Well OS X allows you to do so.
I just created two folders with a "/" in the name:
1) on the Mac Os Extended Format partition
2) on the NTFS shared partition
Both work fine on OSX.
That is very, very, very weird... Folders with / in them are prohibited by UNIX and OSX is supposed to be a UNIX -- I can only guess they did this for compatibility with some of Apple's really ancient filesystems where that was valid.
But it is not valid to put / inside NTFS. You really shouldn't do that.
Maybe a disk scan it renamed it to some untypable characters which might be accessible like this:
If that prints the folder name and only the folder name, try this:

Hello,
Is it possible to make a file manager use different "colored folders" when browsing specific directories?
For example, if I open a gnome file manager and browse my windows share at, smb://192.168.1.101/z/ , can I make those folders appear green?
And when I open another instance of... (0 Replies)

I had to stop a pigz (parallel gzip) compression before it completed. Is the original uncompressed file changed/corrupted?
I was under the impression that the original file is not changed during compression, though it is deleted if the compression is successful. (1 Reply)

rmf
rmf(1) General Commands Manual rmf(1)NAME
rmf - remove folder (only available within the message handling system, mh)
SYNOPSIS
rmf [+folder] [-help] [-[no]interactive]
OPTIONS
Prints a list of the valid options to this command. Asks for confirmation before deleting a folder. By default, rmf deletes a folder and
its messages without asking for confirmation. If you specify the -interactive option, rmf asks if you are sure before deleting the folder.
You are advised to use this option, since when rmf deletes a folder its contents are lost irretrievably.
DESCRIPTION
The rmf command removes all of the messages within the current folder, and then removes the folder itself. If there are any files within
the folder which are not part of MH, they are not removed, and an error message is displayed.
You can specify a folder other than the current folder by using the +folder argument. If you do not specify a folder, and rmf cannot find
the current folder,rmf asks you whether you want to delete +inbox instead.
If the current folder is removed, it makes +inbox current.
Note that the rmf command irreversibly deletes messages that do not have other links, so use it with caution.
If the folder being removed is a sub-folder, the parent folder becomes the new current folder, and rmf tells you that this has happened.
This provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages, operating on the list, then removing the list and returning to the current
folder from which the list was extracted.
Using rmf to delete a read-only folder deletes the private sequence and current message information from the file, without affecting the
folder itself. If you have sub-folders within a folder, you must delete all the sub-folders before you can delete the folder itself.
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's Mail directory
EXAMPLES
This example shows how rmf asks for confirmation when the -interactive option is used: % rmf -interactive +test Remove folder "test"? y
